ONI PRESS' BILLY SMOKE
Billy Smoke is an original graphic novel by B. Clay Moore and Erik Kim that is scheduled for next spring from Oni Press.
Oni editor-in-chief James Lucas Jones said the book is about an assassin on a path to redemption who has to hunt down the assassisns he used to associate with.
Kim drew Love as a Foreign Language for Oni, but Jones said Billy Smoke will be a "complete departure" for the artist.
"This is a complete action, adrenaline-fueled, thrill ride type of a book," Jones said.
Oni did not release a page-count or price for the book.
